Hello Readers! After racing for our lives in the arena, crossing the Gate, riding the frontier, surviving the desert, and sailing into exile together, Aurelia, Robert, and I are thrilled to announce that their third and final novel, Redemption, is set for publication on October 17th! Thank you all for your amazing support as we have tackled the equally fabulous/frustrating/epic journey of publishing a trilogy. Every book within this series has been an adventure. And after a myriad of challenges, obstacles, and joys, it is such an honor to share with you this conclusion. We know you have waited a long time, and we hope you will feel—as we do—that this novel is every bit the story of which we have dreamed.

1. Assassins. When you have a mind of your own, people seem to want to kill you.

2. Vultures. AKA unwanted suitors with lots of power and very little hair.

3. Sisters. Always a challenge, whether one is headstrong or not.
But Aurelia's sister definitely belongs on this list.

4. Stepmothers. Like we haven’t all read enough fairy tales to know this. And I admit that Aurelia’s stepmother bears an unfortunate resemblance to the fairy tale stereotype. Aurelia would really prefer that her stepmother did not. But that’s just not the way life turned out.

5. Cowardice.
